Slashing Funding For Addiction Service Is Not ‘New York Loving’

To The Reader’s Forum: Slashing funding for addiction services by twenty percent amid a surge in overdose deaths is not ‘New York Smart’ or ‘New York Loving’ or ‘New York United’, instead it is ‘New York Shortsighted’, ‘New York Heartless’, and ‘New York Divided’. Predictably, here’s what’s already starting to happen – programs are developing plans to down-size or close services, frontline essential workers are losing their jobs, and preventable deaths of despair like overdose and suicide are getting worse. A 20% cut to NYS Office of Addiction and ...

Absolute Power In The Hands Of One Is A Threat To Democracy

To The Reader’s Forum: In just a couple of weeks children will be returning to school in New York state for in-person instruction. Restaurants have reopened and people are shopping in stores and malls. Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association are playing games on a daily basis throughout New York. The NFL season will begin in less than a month in Buffalo. In just over two months millions of New Yorkers will be going to the polls to vote in the Presidential election.

Reader Supports Malkin Opinion Column

To The Reader’s Forum: Readers are thankful that The Post-Journal has not succumbed to cancel culture virtue signaling demands to silence one of the few brave voices cognizant of the internal assault on our nation — Michelle Malkin. Having retired from Chicago (20 years ago), I’ve watched intently the protracted destruction of that city at the hands of the cancel culture warriors, including Antifa, Black Lives Matter and the “Sunrise Movement.” These organizations — ultimately anarchist — are funded by George Soros and allies, as Malkin has documented in her articles ...

We Can Get To A Better Place Together

To The Reader’s Forum: Michelle Malkin is trying to normalize white supremacy. She has publically allied herself with white supremacists, appeared on white supremacist podcasts and defended holocaust deniers and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Why are you giving her a platform to do so in our hometown paper? Our country is trying to face our history of slavery, segregation, and the institutional racism that continues to this day — in access to banking and capital, hiring practices, schools, home buying, policing, the courts and sentencing. We are ...

Careful Consideration Needed For Mask Use

To The Reader’s Forum: I want to thank The Post-Journal for including Michelle Malkin’s articles. I appreciate her courage to speak truth about the violence being allowed in our country and the freedoms being taken from non-violent citizens. Mask wearing is a very controversial subject right now. There are times when wearing a mask is advisable, such as when working around the sick or when one has to be in public when ill. However, there are also negative consequences to wearing a mask. Controlled studies were conducted in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2019, and even in ...

Readers’ Forum

Some People Are Fools To The Reader’s Forum: If you want evidence that people are fools, the Jamestown sports nickname controversy is your perfect example. Raids are not nice things whether conducted by Senecas, Vikings, or people of any skin color. But no one is the least upset about the “raider” part of the name. Emotionally aroused sports fans aren’t strong on philosophy or complex reasoning and sports aren’t about social justice, everybody achieving the same outcome. Sports are about winning and losing, defeat and victory, us and them. They are a toy world of make ...
